How in Heaven's name is that supposed to help? The original poster is doing a SELECT, not some DML. That select statement needs to retrieve rollback blocks from whatever rollback segment the *original* transactions placed them in. Therefore, your suggestion might or might not be useful for the original transactions, but by the time our poster turns up and starts doing selects, it's way too late.
